Maharishi asked, “You had the desire Rik and now you no longer have the desire?” to which John asked, “Don’t you call that slightly life destructive?” Cooke replied, “Well, John, it was either the tiger or us. It was then that Cooke began to think that maybe it wasn’t such a good idea. When she started talking about the kill to the Maharishi and some of his followers, the Maharishi became visibly disturbed. Cooke shot a tiger on the hunt when it jumped at him and his mother. Notes: “Bungalow Bill” was actually an American named Richard Cooke, III, who had met the Beatles and was on a tiger hunt with his mother three hours away from Rishikesh, where the Beatles were meditating. Paul McCartney – vocals, bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drums Recorded: Augat Abbey Road, London, England The orchestra was added on Oct 10 and used for the standard versions. The mono-mix unearthed for “Anthology 3” has various sound effects, of which only the whistle after “fool on the hill” was used in the standard mix. The stereo version is lacking Paul’s added vocal “oh yeah” at the end of the break. A derivative of “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” was used in the theme song to the 1980s television show “Life Goes On”. Paul wanted to use the song as a single, but when John refused the song was re-recorded by the band Marmalade and became a British hit. During the recording sessions, the Beatles went through numerous takes with several different sounds until John, who hated the song, to begin with, just went up to the piano and banged out the opening notes, which they kept for the master. “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” is cited as the first white reggae involving Jamaican people and genre. After Paul used the phrase Scott wanted a royalty, however, Paul insisted that it was a common phrase. Notes: The phrase “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” is from the Yoruba tribe (Nigerian) and it means “life goes on”, a phrase used frequently by conga player Jimmy Scott, whom Paul had met.
